Europe v02.00 (14/06/2004), None, SkipMPEG, - Game launched via a retail copy., - Heavily "garbled" textures in the in-game menus (plane/weapon selection, plane/weapon buying and selling screen) : most of the textures of those menus are hidden by formless black polygons covering a large part of the screen. | |

Known Issues
Graphical issues
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Description: The game still has a lot of graphical issues in hardware mode. The aircraft, the hangar and the in-mission ground surface suffer from the most noticeable glitches. Black lines on screen and textures are incorrect.
- Workaround: Software Mode has no graphical glitches but runs slow on most CPUs and has slow view modes.
Software mode FPS drop in Third Person or Cockpit view
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: In Software Mode, both third person and cockpit views make the game go unplayably slow.
- Workaround: Use Virtual Cockpit mode or play in Hardware Mode.
